High hopes

A little messed up, do you feel it?
A little bit of this and a little bit of that
She wanna know which way I'm leanin' (I'm leanin')


Am I really made of this, am I really made of that?
And is it so bad if you need me?
Just a little bit, whoa, don't get rid of me
Ayy, but love is so blind when you feel it (so blind)
Can't defeat it, hope you feelin'-

High hopes

I'ma talk like I don't really mean it, ayy
Bless me, St. John's, I'ma act like I don't really need it
But you see these funds, ayy, they gon' cheer me up, ayy
Brand new whip, sound like Cheerios, ayy, yeah, ayy
Wake me up, Rey Mysterio, ayy, yeah, ayy
Wipe my eyes, can't see clearly, though
I been on the block, boy move soft like some cereal, ayy, yeah

High hopes with you, man, I wanna see you again
High hopes with you, man, I wanna see you again
Yeah, yeah
I don't think you good at keepin' secrets
All the bags on the floor make you heated
Blind my eyes, boy too bright, got them sequins
And I hope you comin' back to cop that free shit
Let her cop that free shit
That's elite shit

Overall Meaning

In Joji's song "High Hopes," he sings of being in a state of confusion and uncertainty about how he is perceived by his partner. He begins by acknowledging that he is "a little messed up," and questions whether he is made of different parts. He admits that he needs his partner even if it's just a little bit, but he worries that he might be blind to love's faults. Throughout the song, he expresses his desire for a deep connection with his partner, but also hints at a reluctance to fully commit. He talks about "brand new whips" and "bags on the floor," suggesting that he is preoccupied with materialistic things.


Beyond these surface-level observations, the song's lyrics evoke a sense of longing and vulnerability. Joji's repeated refrain of "high hopes" is a kind of mantra, a plea for something better, a desire for a deeper connection. He talks about wanting to see his partner again, but also admits to being bad at keeping secrets. The juxtaposition of these conflicting feelings gives the song its emotional weight, creating a sense of tension that makes the listener want to know more about what's going on inside Joji's head.

Altas esperanças
.
Um pouco bagunçado, você sente isso?
Um pouco disso e um pouco daquilo
Ela quer saber para que lado estou inclinado
Eu sou realmente feito disso, sou realmente feito disso?
E é tão ruim se você precisar de mim?
Só um pouquinho, uau, não se livre de mim, ayy
Mas o amor é tão cego quando você o sente (tão cego)
Não posso derrotá-lo, espero que você esteja se sentindo bem

[Verso 2: Omar Apollo]
Eu estou falando como se eu realmente não quisesse
Abençoe-me, St. John's, eu agirei como se eu realmente não precisasse
Aposto que você vê esses fundos, ayy, eles vão me animar, ayy
Um chicote novo soa como Cheerio, ayy, yеah, ayy
Acorde-me, Rey Mystеrio, ayy, sim, ei
Limpe meus olhos, mas não consigo ver claramente
Eu estive no bloco, garoto, mexa-se suavemente como um cereal, sim, sim
Esperanças altas com você, cara, eu quero te ver de novo
Esperanças altas com você, cara, eu quero te ver de novo (sim, sim)
Eu não acho você bom em guardar segredos
Todos os sacos no chão te aquecem
Cegue meus olhos, garoto muito brilhante, ele pegou lantejoulas
Cara, eu espero que você volte para pegar essa merda grátis
De volta a essa merda grátis, isso é merda de elite
